True un-restored and uncut 1966 Ford Bronco Roadster, U13 vin code.  Built in October, 1965.  Bought from original owner's son in 1994 in Charlotte, NC.  76,000 original miles; original engine rebuilt in 1999 but less than 1,000 miles since then.  Has been in storage since 2000, driven occasionally until 2006.  Pulled out of storage last year, taken to the mechanic for a complete check-up, new tires, and then detailed.


To the best of my knowledge, the Bronco has never been wrecked.  I've certainly never wrecked it, and I was told when I bought it that it had never even been in a fender bender.  The gas tank leaks when full.

New high-quality, custom-made seat covers (front buckets and rear bench) to match the original factory spec vinyl, including gray color (only color available on the '66 models) and texture, installed in 2000.  Not sure if the paint is original (it's not been painted since I've had it) but is in very good condition.  Small, slight bubble rust under paint in one place on front right quarter panel, near bumper (see picture).  Slight surface rust on original floor pans; slight surface rust on the original bumpers.  When I say "surface", I mean surface.

Just had all fluids changed, new tires (235/75R15 Goodyear radials), new battery, new brakes, rebuilt master cylinder, new right front brake cylinder, new front axle seals, points, rotor, exhaust gasket, manifold re-surfaced, and carb completely rebuilt.  Pull to the right when breaking hard, but I've yet to see an old Bronco that did not do this.

Less than 5,000 Roadsters were produced by Ford.  How many are still around?  And how many are still around in this condition...uncut, unmolested, and un-restored?  My guess is less than five.

Features:
  • --original number-matching 170cid straight 6 engine
  • --original 1-barrel carburetor
  • --original lock-out hubs (rebuilt 1995) on the 4-wheel drive front axle
  • --original oil bath air filter
  • --original vacuum windshield wipers
  • --original hub caps, plus 4 extra rear caps (unique to '66--not sold on pickups or any other vehicles)
  • --original straight-end bumpers (unique to '66 and '67 models)
  • --original driver side mirror (unique to early Roadsters, not an after-market one)
  • --original "pencil" dash pad, with no cracks (unique to '66 and '67 models)
  • --original eyebrow grill (only found on early production '66s)
  • --original FOMOCO washer fluid bag
  • --original 3-on-the-tree 3.03 manual transmission
  • --original long-throw 4-wheel drive transfer case control stick with round ball head (only found on early production '66s)
  • --original rubber transfer case boot (unique to '66 models)
  • --original rear bench seat, loved by my kids when they were little
  • --original black arm rests on rear bench seat (unique to '66 models)
  • --original 15-inch wheels, including the spare
  • --original rear tail light lenses (no "clear" reverse section; unique to '66 models)
  • --original FOMOCO tail hitch
  • --original fold-down windshield (hinged to fold flat on top of the hood, with a pin hitch to hold it in place)
  • --original skid plate protecting the transfer case

The successful bidder must make a $250 deposit via PayPal within 48 hours of the close of the auction.  Full payment for the vehicle must be made within three days of the close of the auction.  The vehicle will not be released until payment is received via bank transfer or other means acceptable to the owner.  Sale does not include shipping.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs.

I have tried to provide an honest description of this Bronco.  I encourage anyone interested in bidding to view the Bronco in person, it is located in Acworth, GA.  If you have any questions, please let me know prior to bidding.

This Bronco is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty implied or given.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.

With contract expiration days away, UAW targets GM first for negotiations

Tue, Sep 3 2019

The United Auto Workers union on Tuesday said that it would target General Motors as the first of the Detroit automakers for talks ahead of the current four-year contract's expiration on Sept. 14. This year's contract talks between the union and GM, Ford and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV are expected to be contentious as U.S. new vehicle sales are slowing and automakers face rising costs associated with the development of electric vehicles and self-driving cars. Rising healthcare costs, job security, profit sharing and the use of temporary workers are expected to be major sticking points. GM in particular has been a target of union ire since announcing the closure of five North American plants late last year. That move drew a wave of criticism, including from U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump has repeatedly prodded GM and last week said the No. 1 U.S. automaker should begin moving its operations in China back to the United States. "We are prepared and we are all ready to stand up for our members, our communities and our manufacturing future," UAW President Gary Jones said in a statement. In a statement, GM said, "We look forward to having constructive discussions with the UAW on reaching an agreement that builds a strong future for our employees and our business." The contracts come at a difficult time for the UAW, as a federal corruption investigation into the union continues to grow. Last week, the FBI conducted searches at Jones' home, a union retreat and multiple other locations, including the home of the union's previous president, Dennis Williams. To date, seven people linked to the union and the automaker have been sentenced in the government's corruption investigation. Reporting by Nick Carey.

Forza Horizon announces January Recaro Car Pack with LFA N"urburgring Edition

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

Another month, another car pack for Forza Horizon. This time it's the Recaro Car Pack featuring a motley gang of cars and trucks: the 1983 GMC Vandura G-1500, 1995 Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2012 Cadillac Escalade ESV, 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR, 2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition and 2012 Lotus Exige S.
It'll be up for download on Xbox Live on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 2013 for 400 MS Points. As usual, if you have the Forza Horizon Season Pass you can get them all free, and Season Pass holders will also get a bonus car that's not pictured: the 2009 Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster.
The Pagani is everything opposite to that Vandura, but while you might not ever win anything with the van, you can always use the back of it as a place to give out free hugs. Check out the video and press release below for more details.
